How do I stop it?

[news2]

I have an application that starts processing immediately upon activation.
Like an idiot I managed to code in an endless loop. Now I can't get at the
code to fix it. I've tried all sorts of invalid inputs to get it to choke,
but apparently the rest of my code works around these problems nicely.
Sigh.

Suggestions as to how I can get at this would be appreciated. Access 2003,
XP.

1) Hold down the shift key when starting the app.
or
2) Ctrl+Break to interrupt the code.

I assume you mean that you have a form that loads when the db loads and that
this form contains the endless loop. Press and hold the <Shift> key down then
start up your app. Hold the <Shift> key down until it loads completely. This
should take you to the Access objects dialog box. Now goto Tools > Startup
and remove the offending form from the Display Form/Page window.

Hi Dick,

You've already received answers from two other people, which should work.
But I'm curious....did you forget a recordset.movenext statement? Been
there, done that! <smile>

Tom;

I read in a MS Press book that 'ADO.net took out the rst.movenext
because people forget to include it'

I find it revolting; and I think that dipshits like you and MS should
take a long walk off of a short pier

I mean.. do they really need to 'dumb down the language' just because
some kids forgot rst.movenext?
